Project details
The Assistive Technology(AT) Commercialize R&D Project for Independent Living for People with Disability and Older People consists of two types of initiatives: R&D Projects for Economic Value(Support for AT R&D Projects) and R&D Projects for Social Value(AT Open Lab).
- R&D Project for Economic Value(Support for AT R&D Projects)
We support R&D projects for assistive technology aimed at developing and field-testing promising high-tech, high-value-added products with strong commercialization potentials and having significant impacts on both domestic and global markets.
- R&D Project for Social Value(AT Open Lab)
We conduct R&D studies on customized assistive technologies that are essential for daily life but difficult to commercialize due to high development and production costs, in order to meet the individual needs of people with disability and older people.
